Addendum: I'm still excited about the New 3DS.
As I recently found out until you can without having to take out Micro SD card to access the map.
This requires Windows 7 or Windows 8.1. In New 3ds can release the Micro SD on the contents of the SD Card management on the network.
Thus, you can access similar as on a Windows release.
Thus, the only criticism into perspective because you do not have to remove the SD card to create backups.
